Windows 10: malware/ trojan attacking browsers

malware/ trojan attacking browsers

Hi there, to cut a long story short , my sisters toshiba satellite was running very very slow . ;installed adware cleaner and malwarebytes and ran it .... it found many problems . I quarantined them and removed them but they came back ! The browsers have been taken over by searchfinder.com or searching .com ? So now after a week of trying to remove this problem . Folowing all instructions on how to remove from each browser and their short cuts I began using my computer to download tools to try and fix the problem ....; in doing so I have managed to download something with bundled adware onto my toshiba qosmio and I now have problems opening any browser ! Ibhave adwcleaner installed which i have ran many times . This removes all the problems found but they return ? After 2 weeks now I downloaded the windows defender offline tool - onto disc . Ran it . It found a trojan and malware . Removed them . On restarting the problems have not gone away ! I cannot even turn windiws defender on now !!! Driving me crazy,,,, any help would be very appreciative ---- cheers ---Neil
